176: Jake's Jeff Beck Gig & The Future of Modelling
Hi Guys, sincerest apologies that it's been a while. Some of the chat might be 'out of date' somewhat but it's our takes on the goings on at the time. I hope you enjoy as we dive into Jake's all star Jeff Beck tribute gig and everything that came with it. Including the the gear used... which led us into a big ol' chat about guitar modellers, the Neural Amp Modeller and a little bit about the Bad Monkey saga towards the end. As always thanks for listening and for all the support. Catch you on the next one!

Ever young vampire Dan has double booked, so the oldies (Beebs, Tom and the Doctor) sit around to complain about ageing, failing bodies and how bad posture may or may not be getting in the way of guitar playing. On a positive note there are some interesting things discovered along the way. The extended Patreon edit includes (amongst other things) a detour into halloween horror movie recommendations.

With the Doc down' pit and catchups out the way, Beebs presents some practise and time management ideas discovered whilst in the bowels of the Nepali monastery. Naturally Tom pushes back for a classic TGHP debate whilst Dan throws in the jokes and threads the needle for us. Surprisingly given the subject matter, this is a humorous banger!   LINKS:   Making Sense Podcast - Time Management for Mortals
